Using the viewcvs webinterface, it is pretty easy to get the dead files: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/pam_mount/FC-1/?hideattic=0 I guess there is also some commandline option that allows to easily access these files. > Perhaps we could look at archiving off all those old branches if they > are causing a problem? After I got this working, the next step was to suggest to remove all old branches (F-7 and older) for every package in the near future. The reason why I want this done, is that they mess up some packages, where there are now 10 or more branch directories. Also it takes unecessarily long for to checkout packages. Especially packages that not only have many branches, but also a lot of patches. Regards, Till
